1931 Map of Rotan

About this map

The Brazos River carves a winding path through the northern portion of this 1931 survey, forming a distinct oxbow at Bullock Bend. This landscape marks the rugged transition across the Stonewall and Fisher County line, where the terrain is dominated by deep drainage patterns and the Clear Fork of the river. The map illustrates a rural Texas community structured around small local institutions and early regional transit routes. Settlements here are anchored by locations like Dowell Ch and educational centers including Dorras Sch and Dowell Sch. Transportation in the early twentieth century is defined by the Canadian Highway No 70 and the Del Rio Highway, providing a look at the infrastructure that connected these remote ranching and farming districts before modern highway developments altered the local geography.
